Two Selves

all my needs are met
when I'm sad
what I'm craving is that struggle
and if there's only one way to get it
I'll stay alive
where's my line determined
in my thoughts
I privilege speech over my writing
and then I privilege thought over words
and then I fold my arms and sit down
how many times have you thought just a bit further
cause maybe when this is done I'll go home and the thing I'm waiting for will happen
how many times have you lied to yourself just to put your two selves at ease
but whenever you
come back from school
you only need someone to wait for you
whether that's a different person or just you

Tiny Fez

wearing a tiny fez
like I'm in media res
pawing at the scenes trying to coalesce them to fantasy
I am my father's son
I want to brandish a gun
at anyone who thinks a hundred dollars isn't much money
I want to read til my brain vapours into dream
I'll orchestrate the screams of the bourgeoisie
a ghost inside the mall
violence caking the walls
executive decision to clean it up sometime later
sprint right into my mouth
accumulating your clout
establish the nom de plume of la vicious contemplator
I want to read til my brain vapours into dream
I'll orchestrate the screams of the bourgeoisie

it's always the sentimental heart that betrays what's on its mind
and I'm always slipping out the back for rehearsal time
in the classroom drifting between your smile
haven't grown up since like I was Billy Brown
how I was I supposed to know you shouldn't always be nice
left by myself while they out feasting
they're trying to exile me
they always ask why are you saying that
why are you saying that
I'm saying it because it's the truth
it's always the sentimental heart that betrays what's on its mind
and I'm always slipping out the back for rehearsal time
if I can be told no
if I can be told no
if I can be told no
well maybe I can tell it too
if you've got nothing just give us nothing
all of this shit is just one big Macguffin
they always ask why are you saying that
why are you saying that
I'm saying it because it's the truth
it's always the sentimental heart that betrays what's on its mind
and I'm always slipping out the back for rehearsal time
I said it's always the sentimental heart that betrays what's on its mind
and I'm always slipping out the back for rehearsal time
if I can be told no
if I can be told no
if I can be told no
well maybe I can tell it too

Metanarrative
02:11
|
|

they all walk away when something in him has died
leave the cause get the symptom extradited
lament nobody noticed the signs
now where's my prompter when I don't know the lines
never had a tongue that drips with venom
never been the type to scry into bile
but I wanna point out an interregnum that I see between the gap in your smile
if there's someone trying to peek around the corner and tell you that you don't own your life
you can tell them for the right price you can be persuaded to do what is right
it will serve you better if you just inhabit the metanarrative you're trying to fight
maybe all of the things you hide are hidden cause they don't look good in the light
if I can be told no
if I can be told no
if I can be told no maybe I can tell it too

all of you are gonna turn to ash someday
so stay here tell me what you have to say
okay you gotta get cash today
small faces
blank stare forward when the day ends
mess around get slapped today
another day a new form of sacrilege
just to make some acumen I gotta come like RoboCop blazing
they don't feel it if I don't put the phase in
round one fight quarter sharp key centre
stay sharp never made me feel better
dressed up in a green sweater
man's wanted whether he's dead or alive
put him on a stage he will revive
spill out all his insides
people take the ride
no no no no no no no no
that's not me up there
that's my doppelganger
I didn't put my two selves at ease today
what am I to say
glass eyes couldn't keep me from looking
at the story stage you've become in your struggle
struggle for self determination
I'm being made to look ridiculous
all this time I was only 1x1x1
all this time I was only 1x1x1

Crocodile
01:28

|

lay all of your things on the floor in the sun
be happy you're not burned to a crisp right now
occupy a mansion that's been abandoned
get masses hold apparatus to ransom
sleep in the bath get up whenever you like
Mr. Anderson you've been living two lives
act like you're upset but be happy in spite
waiting for moment to strike like crocodile

Drag-On YHWH
03:44

|

oh that's sad
how could this happen to you
is there anything we can do
anyway sorry there's nothing we can do
oh that's sad
hold me baby tonight
there's no need for you to be frightened
it's just me and you and the Five Eyes
I'll revert back to childhood
if I ever see my name
drag on
YHWH
and I never snitched on anybody
ever since I joined the CIA
you don't have to see what they've done to me
oh that's sad
I love you more than JFK loved Allen Dulles
oh that's sad
and I love you more than William Hesketh Lever loved his brother James Darcy
and I'll revert back to childhood
if I ever see my name
drag on
YHWH
and I never snitched on anybody
ever since I joined the CIA
you don't have to see what they've done to me
oh that's sad
oh that's sad
oh that's sad
oh that's sad

Dr. Manhattan

the aptitude test is rigged
you have to prove your faith
no one in the courtyard
has seen this place's true face
Ieva should know
it's over
Ieva should know
it's over
wanna feel myself empty out
become as little as possible
wanna feel myself empty out
become as little as possible
I only seen you falter one time in composure
Dr. Manhattan for all time, it's over
Ieva should know
it's over
Ieva should know
it's over
wanna feel myself empty out
become as little as possible
wanna feel myself empty out
become as little as possible

both my toes are dressed to heal their wounds
it's good to get something out of the way so soon
it feels so strange that I deteriorate
in a way it feels like like will keep getting even more great
in a world where nothing goes wrong
in a world where nothing goes wrong
I won't have to look up when you'll open the stores
I look forward to your letters telling me I'm wrong
cause everyone exists inside a steelbook
my life is getting further away
the more I think about the words I wish I'd thought to say
with a past you start to feel bad at all times
feelings are detrimental to human beings' survival
in a world where nothing goes wrong
in a world where nothing goes wrong
I won't have to ask you when you'll open the stores
I look forward to your letters telling me I'm wrong
cause everyone exists inside a steelbook
everyone exists inside a steelbook
one day they'll tell you you're a genius
one day they'll tell you you're a fraud
